So I am having some troubles with this tho... I am not sure if this is supposed to be like this, but I have decorations, like flags and lights on my fences and roofs ALL THE TIME!!! They change colour with seasons and special holidays... I think this is normal?? But I don't want it :(
Is there a way to turn this off?? Or is this a glitch? If it is normal am I the only one who is annoyed by this?? It messes up my houses :'(

It's normal, and you are not the only one thinking it's too much.

To get rid of it you must buy the decor boxes, click the object to "take down decor". If you play rotating, you will find the decor might be back up next time you enter a house, but it can be taken down again. I don't think you can remove it from your neighbor, without entering the house and buy those decor boxes. Wish there was a general setting per save, allowing us to reduce the decor hysteria without having to enter each house, LOL.

You actually can turn the decorations off! Go into the calendar and edit the holiday. There will be an option to change the decoration type, and there you can select none. But you can still put them up manually if you choose.

I'm going to guess that it is like the string lights in sims 3, click on it and choose the option and it'll be added to the fence. I hope so.

I thought those were just new fence swatches that have decorations on them. If we can actually decorate fences now, that would be cool!

But we already can. Not with a lot of objects but the garden hose is a prime example of one. This is not a new feature.

The only thing I can find that snaps too is the hose so far. I tried other lights, garlands ect. What else can be used like this? I want to use it lol.

I'm sure the sun wall decor can go on a fence. It's only certain fences though.

I noticed completely by accident. I went to place a seed on the ground so Drucilla could plant it, but it ended up on the fencing. Haha!

Thank you very much!!! I figured you could, cuz when I went to a different home I didn't have it at all! :D

Well you could do this anyway with moveobjects, raise with alt+9 and position holding alt so it moves off the grid - But a snap to fence feature would be handy too, to speed up the process.

Woah = *mind blown*!! I've been looking everywhere for tips like this for building and just happened to stumble on your comment through a search engine. It's now 2021 and I just wanted to thank you for your life altering post lol.

So.... asking for a friend, but would you happen to have anymore tips like this? :)
